NEW SPRINGHEAD PUB 'THE ROARING MEG' OPENING SOON! Launch party over the Spring bank holiday weekend (24th-27th May) to coincide with the Newark Beer Festival, with a fantastic selection of real ales and ciders, delicious homemade locally-sourced food, and live music on the Friday and Saturday evenings! Opening hours: 12pm-11pm daily.

It will be ‘Love at first pint’ when you taste one of our range of beers. Roaring Meg is the leader of the pack and is a smooth golden beer with a sweet, citrus honey aroma, and a long dry finish.

Springhead began life in Sutton-on-Trent as the smallest brewery in England in 1990, gaining a place in the Guinness Book of Records, with a brew length of just 2.5 brewers barrels (about 10 casks for a day’s work) but successful recipes soon led to national prizes and a huge increase in sales. The brewery then moved to larger premises where it expanded to a 10 brewer’s barrel plant, and more recently to 50 brewer’s barrels, making it one of the largest microbreweries in Nottinghamshire.

In May 2011 we relocated to a converted old mill in the centre of the picturesque village of Laneham near Tuxford in North Nottinghamshire. This has provided much more production, office, and storage capacity, and enabled us to open a brewery tap ‘Meg’s Bar’ (see tab for opening hours), run brewery tours, and in time an educational visitor centre

The beers continue to be supplied direct by the brewery to pubs within a 100 mile radius and by reputable wholesalers and pubcos throughout England, Scotland and Wales.
